I beg to differ, but -- why? Using WYSIWYG editors (bah) this should be
irrelevant for you, writing your own source this should be easier for you. Only a
theorician IMO tends to imply problems in cases where no real problems
exist. YMMV.

For presentation there are CSS (so use them instead of <b /> or <i />), so
your approach matches on table elements, paragraphs etc. -- In my opinion, the
current usage und naming of elements (in nearly every case) is good, and
using acronyms instead of words only seems reasonable for me.
